Managed Kubernetes services
Kubernetes is the standard way to run containerized applications, and it is also the fastest way to build an outage nobody can debug. The difference is operations: a cluster with GitOps, monitoring, backups and upgrade discipline behaves like infrastructure. One built by hand from tutorials behaves like a science project.
We run production Kubernetes ourselves and offer the same setup to clients: managed cloud clusters or bare-metal clusters on your servers, with Flux or Argo CD deploying from Git, Prometheus and Grafana watching everything, and a team on call.

What RackLedge does
- Cluster design: node pools, networking, storage, ingress
- GitOps pipeline from repository to running workload
- Monitoring, alerting and log aggregation
- Backup and restore of cluster state and persistent volumes (Velero)
- Version upgrades on a schedule you approve
How we work
Every cluster we build starts from Git. Infrastructure as code creates the cluster, Flux or Argo CD reconciles everything inside it, and no change reaches production without a pull request. That is what makes a rebuild after a bad day a matter of hours instead of weeks.
Operations are the product: monitoring with alerts that mean something, backups of cluster state and persistent volumes, upgrades on a quarterly cadence and an on-call engineer who already knows the environment. We run production Kubernetes for our own platforms, so the runbooks are ones we use ourselves.
We are honest about fit. A handful of stable services on a couple of VMs does not need Kubernetes, and we will say so. Teams that ship weekly, need to scale or run many services get real value from it.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need Kubernetes at all?
If you run a handful of services on a few VMs and they rarely change, probably not. If you ship software weekly, need to scale, or have more than a few containers, it pays for itself in repeatability.
Cloud or on-prem?
Cloud managed control planes remove the hardest operational piece. On-prem wins when data must stay local, egress costs bite, or you already own the servers.
